Thanks for all the valuable pointers....!
The reason I wanted to do it in WebObjects, was because I like what
Apple has done with their .Mac webmail system. I quess it would be
easier to customize squirrelmail, but I'm not sure how flexible
it is when designing a new GUI with company logo etc. All the stuff
I've read so far only lets you change basic colors and no mention
on where to actually find the files.
Wouldn't it be great if Apple or some group of programmers would provide
some basic stuff as starting points (such as webmail, cms, groupware etc).
WebObjects is very powerful and guess that most of the PHP based systems
could be easily re-created......if you had the time.
